Ciao a tutti! š
Iām Veronica, a native Italian speaker from Udine, near Venice. Iām passionate about languages and travel, and Iāve lived in England, Scotland, and the USA, gaining valuable cultural insights.
I hold a C1 level in English (certified with the CAE exam), which allows me to effectively guide English-speaking students through their Italian learning journey. With a Masterās in Italian Studies, CEDILS certification, and 5+ years of experience teaching online and offline, Iāve helped 400+ students of all levels.
My tailored lessons make Italian learning smooth, fun, and effective. Letās bring Italy into your life! š”Me as a Teacher
My students often describe me as an empathetic and patient teacher who truly listens and adapts to their needs. In my lessons, you are always at the center, and I design each class to match your goals and learning style.
I specialize in teaching English-speaking students, thanks to my strong command of English, but Iāve worked with learners from all over the world and at every level. I also have extensive experience preparing students for exams, including the Italian citizenship test.
Learning with me is tailored, supportive, and effectiveāletās achieve your goals together! My lessons & teaching style
I create personalized lessons tailored to your needs and interests, providing all the materials youāll need. For beginners, I focus on reading and listening comprehension to help you get familiar with the Italian language. For intermediate and advanced learners, weāll emphasize conversation and fluency. Grammar is seamlessly integrated as you practice reading, listening, and speaking, making it easier to learn naturally.
Iām also specialized in exam preparation, including the Italian citizenship test. During our first lesson, Iāll assess your level with a placement test, and together weāll set clear goals for your learning journey. Letās achieve your Italian goals together!My teaching material

Veronica is a great teacher of Italian! She patiently tutored me while I was preparing to take the CILS B1 Cittadinanza exam (I passed!). Among her many skills, she is great at calibrating her speaking in a way that matches the speed, vocabulary, and grammar level of her students. I am continuing to work with her as I prepare to take the CELI B2 exam.

Veronica was very well-prepared and has created all of her own materials, obviously geared towards native English speakers. Her teaching materials were well organized and presented, and I appreciated the structure of her lesson. She speaks at a level intuitively geared towards your own level of Italian, and tailored the lesson to quickly assess where some of my weakest language points are. I'd highly recommend her, and am looking forward to my next lesson with her!

Veronica has been my tutor for almost two years and, thanks to her, my Italian has improved exponentially. I had a pretty basic level when I started and I'm now at a place where I can comfortably converse in Italian when I'm there on vacation. She is a very patient, encouraging teacher, always organized and punctual, and shares excellent materials to work from. I also enjoy our time informally conversing in Italian. I cannot recommend Veronica more highly if you are looking for an Italian tutor!
